150183 - URL bar should display actual link when using multiple tabs

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Bodo Hauser]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
BuildID:    2002052918

opening several tabs in a single window
switching from one tab to another does _not_ set the URL
bar to the URL currently displayed in the selected tab

this makes sensitive browsing much harder, since with
lots of open tabs you could loose orientation :-)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open several tabs in single window
2.select another tab
3.note URL bar still displaying the old URL
4.perhaps a feature, but IMHO a little bug to squeeze :-)

Actual Results:  URL bar not changed

Expected Results:  URL bar should (?) display the URL of the page shown in the
selected tab
the page title displayed in the tab itself is normally not an
URL, and is easily faked by malicious pages

keep up the good work
